I use a PT-72 with my Besson 983. It's advertised as a big F tuba mpc in the PT catalog. Fairly roomy cup (32.5mm) but bowl shaped for a little brighter sound than perhaps the Conn Helleberg, which might also work on the Willson Eb for a litte darker sound. However, for me anyway, I like something a tad smaller if I'm playing a lot of higher register stuff. The PT-72 is as big as I prefer to use (Helleberg is slightly wider) on my Eb. A Helleberg 7B might be interesting -- similar cup diameter as the PT-64 but probably a deeper funnel shape cup, I'd guess.
